It is not uncommon for us to OVER-compensate in certain situations and ended up to the other end of the spectrum.
For example, a man growing up in a family with a weak father may over-compensate his experience and become too dominant in his own family.
A worker who had an overbearing and controlling boss previously may become aggressive and over-confident marking his “territory” at his/her new job. It is quite natural for us to do so but we should avoid swinging to the other end of the spectrum which may not be desirable neither. In short, reflection and moderation will help the transition.
